ORANGE – PRE-COMPETITIVE

Olympic Way Program™

This program is excellent for those swimmers who want to take the next step in perfecting technique and building endurance levels. Operating at our Midland and Bullock locations.

“Where Kids Love To Come and Love To Swim”

Focus is 100% technique in the four competitive strokes while building endurance and speed levels. Swimmers are divided into four distinct groups; OW1-3, OW4-6 and OW7-9, OW10-12.

Endurance and speed requirements increase as swimmers move through the four groups beginning with single 25 yard swims, progressing into continuous 100-400-800 yard swims. Swimmers are required to complete a TEST, to move from group to group.

Swimmers are taught flip turns, transitions from one stroke into another & dives. Although this program is non-competitive, from time to time, swimmers are encouraged to embrace competition; learning to race for the fun of it.

All four strokes are emphasized: Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly.

Swimmers are also provided with introductory instruction on the rules of competitive swimming. This is a fantastic program that is an excellent step between “learn to swim” and “competitive” swimming.
